Who's to say that some of the tech developed to mine bitcoins won't find other applications. Or perhaps the expertise developed by people trying to optimize bitcoin mining, or bitcoin commerce infrastructure could end up helping them change the world in other ways.
I'm totally not saying the two are equivalent, but look at the non-obvious ways that NASA has helped all of us: http://www.wtfnasa.com/ http://www.wtfnasa.com/
- oscargrouch 13y agoby the same way of thinking it also could do more harm than good.. like how many nasa technology its being used to kill, to spy, etc.. creating something with good will, and with a good purpose at least can do us less harm.. but even than.. it always depends of the intentions of human beings.. (a plain could be used for fast transport or to kill) (discoveries about the atoms can cure câncer, energy reactors or to create atomic bombs)
